A brief outline of the requirements for each grade is given below, together with the current fee schedule. Please note that a substantial discount (50% of the normally applicable rate) applies for full-time students and retirees. These and other discounts are also listed below.
Associate membership is appropriate for undergraduates currently studying for their first formal qualification in Physics and those graduates whose major is other than physics. Secondary school teachers whose qualifications are based on a Science Education Degree rather than on an AIP Accredited Degree or equivalent should normally apply for Associate membership, although additional physics-based study may qualify them for Member status. Each application is carefully assessed on its merits.
Fees- Full rate - $90.00
- Full time student or retiree - $45.00
This is the normal professional grade for practicing Physicists.
